Bad Save

[leongt]

I'm useing post build 12 and came to the part were you first talk to Danielle in the tavern, I couldn't get any dialog with her so I installed the small update patch 09-02-2006 and that fixed that problem but then I get a Bad Save when trying to save a game, I reinstalled the post build 12 full again but the no dialog thing is back but I can save again, would like some help on this.

download and install the latest modpack [http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=6875 ]
its in pieter boelen's post on Feb 28 2006 at 9:14 pm
EDIT: oops, i didn't notice you already tried that, have you tried using the save games?
sometimes [like when using the quick save feature], it says bad save, while it actually works.
if not, try reinitializing [I button], and if that doesn't work, hope that someone else will reply, and if nothing comes up, do what i do; uninstall and reinstall the whole game, Build 12.1 modpack, Post Build 12 modpack and the latest update.
sorry that i cant be more helpful, but im at a loss when it comes to modding, i just try any idea i have in my head when i have a problem and usually, it works!
hope that helps <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

At the moment I can continue playing the game because after reinstalling post build 12 full, the save function has returned it's just that I cannot talk to Danielle in the tavern to continue the main Quest so hopefully someone can help.

Problem fixed, After just changing the Danielle dialog file instead of the whole patch both the dialog and the save's are working ok now, Should have done that in the first place, But mite help if someone come's across the same problem.

I am not sure, but that update might require a restart, which would explain why saving doesn't work. Have you tried saving after starting a new game? Anyway: Replacing just Danielle's dialog is a simple way of fixing that bug. I can't remember if there was any other important new stuff in that update though... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

The dialog for the store keeper in conceicao was missing too and I didn't see a dialog file for Volette De Colville in the update patch, But this is a minor thing and I didn't both with it.

Sorry I ment Hispanola not Conceicao

I have just checked all storekeepers for Hispaniala and all have dialog files: Pedro Ortega (Santo Domingo), James Cotton (Tortuga) and Violette De Colville (Port au Prince). Which is these characters didn't have any dialog? I know Violette was missing her dialog, but it should have been added in the latest update.

Well when I went to hispaniale the store keeper didn't come up with any dialog, Don't know why but it just could be my game, the only thing I have installed is the game, build 12 and post build 12 plus one dialog file that I've mentioned before and I haven't installed the latest patch becouse I get the bad save thing.

thats because you continue the same game.
if you try a new game, it might not happen.
and if it does, try running them!
the quick save button causes the game to see it as a Bad Save, but it works, so try running them, and see what comes up.

I got to Quest 12- but the priest wouldn't talk to me, That's the part were you have to search the library, So I started a new game and installed the latest patch and I'm not getting the bad save any more, It must have been that the patch wouldn't work with an old save.

Don't know why the Priest wouldn't talk to me as this is the 4th time Ive played POTC and It's neverhappend before?, But I did the Quest Strange things in arperchio first so maybe this is why he wont talk to me.
